Im not up on tire sizes, but Ill need them to be at least as tall as the tires on my truck right now. 33x12.5x16.5. Don't care if they are narrower.
Keep an look out for 285/75-16s. They'll be about the same height and about 2" narrower (32/10.50). They are fairly common, so should find used easier. I think 235/85s will look a bit anemic. 255/85s will be as tall and even skinnier, but harder to find
